Kurt’s 2014 Nutritional Supplement Plan

January 5, 2014

Now that I have come up with my Nutrition Plan and Workout Plan, now its time to review my Supplement Plan.

Protein Supplement

Protein powder is such a premium here in Bali so I am going to try instead to get most of my protein from whole foods. But, post-workout I most certainly will be taking my Whey Protein mixed in with a smoothie and will also be taking it prior to going to bed.

When: Post Workout, When I need protein on the run, and Before Bed (for bulking stage)
How Much To Take: 1 – 2 scoops
My Favorites: CytoSport Whey Protein, EAS Whey Protein

Pre-Workout Drink

A good pre-workout drink was almost mandatory if you workout after a long day of working – or just feel a little tired and not motivated to workout. A good one will give you a nice surge of energy and a good “pump” for the training session.

When: 30 minutes before workout
How Much To Take: 1-2 scoops
My Favorites: No-Xplode, Jack 3D

Creatine

I have taken Creatine on and off for over a decade and have always had amazing results. It is an amino acid and I notice that it has greatly assisted me in gaining size and strength.

When: Immediately after workout
How Much To Take: 20-25 grams for first week for “loading”, then 5-10 grams there after for “maintenance”
My Favorites: Optimum Nutrition Creatine Powder, TwinLab Creatine

Glutamine

Glutamine is the most abundant single amino acid in your body and plays a key role in muscle
growth and it is very cheap to buy and is great no matter what your particular fitness goals are.

When: Immediate before training, immediately after, and before bed
How Much To Take: 5 – 10 grams
My Favorites: NOW Foods – L-Glutamine, Optimum Nutrition Glutamine Powder

Multi-Vitamin

It is absolutely crucial that your body get the necessary vitamins and minerals so that your bodies many physiological processes be performed correctly. So, I can’t recommend enough the necessity of taking a good multi-vitamin.

When: With breakfast (can vary)
Serving: 2 vitamins
My Favorites:NOW Foods Adam Superior Men’s Multi, Optimum Nutrition Opti-Men Multivitamins

That is my supplement plan…if you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact me.
